Yep you know what I'm talking about.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #6 on:** February 25, 2011, 10:08:43 AM »

ice is going to be hard to get, better to wait for a true cold snap and head for pinns or castle for photo ops. I'm assuming this is run-off ice you're talking about?

If only crystal springs reservoir would leak more at the dam...

Mungie doesn't know where we are talking about

Sorry man, but it's a stevens creek secret.

If the level drops....we will see.

Will check out and post up.

I know the secrets of the creek. You forget I was the official photographer for the Climber First Descent of Stevens Creek in a two-man raft trip last decade.

Epic!

HA, did that in a raft in mid 80's....F4 and I were just chatting about it. Epic, sick, stoopid, and downright dangerous. My fav still remains the Tyrolean crossing I did across a very swollen spillway.....no idea how I didn't die.

ha, made me think about it a few days ago when I read about the two kids killed when doing the same thing....think it was the East Bay. Pure luck I made it to....today

planning to leave early morning. forecast still calling for it this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow morning (less than half inch)

I'd like to hit West Side to shoot Balconies.

Anyone call the HQ yet?

Keep us informed, I know you guys want snow, but I say F that as I want to send the rig on Monday. Anybody want to head out there with me? Looking for people who don't mind heading into that cold and dank corridor for one or two belays. I will let you use my new GrisGris 2.
